. Specification of Letters Patent. `Patented April 27, 1909.

Application led July 22, 1908. Serial No. 444,818;

siding at Atlanta, inthe county of Fultonand State of Georgia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Crib Attachments for Bedsteads, of which-the following is a specification. Y

This invention relates to crib attachments for bedsteads, and one of the principal objects of the same is to provide a vcrib which can be readily connected to one of the side rails of a bedstead and which can be readily disconnected therefrom and folded to'occupy but little space underneath the bedstead or elsewhere.

Another object of the invention is to provide a crib having folding end rails and a folding side rail, said crib being provided with means for attachment to one of the side rails of a bedstead.

These and other objects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,-

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bedstead and a cribconnected thereto, said crib embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the crib attachment and a portion of one of the side rails of the bedstead. Fig.` 3 is a plan view of the crib with the end rail and side rail folded down in position to be stored under the bed when not in use. Fig. 4 is a detail artial sectional view of one of the eX- tensib e legs of the crib. Fig. 5 is a detaily perspective view of one of the inner support-` ing legs and the corner posts of the crib.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the head, and 2 the foot of anV ordinary metal rbedstead,. and 3 is one of the side rails thereof. Thisbedstead may be of the usual or any suitable design 0r construe? tion. r v

My crib designed for attachment to one of the side rails 3 ofthe bedstead consists of a s ring bottom 4 comprising preferably bas et-work springs secured `to a suitable frame 5 surrounding the body ofthe spring,

said frame at one'side'havingloops or eyes 6 into the hollow section 1 1.

cut and bent therefrom to surround the lower bar 7 of the side rail 8, said side rail consisting of the'bars 7 and 9 and the legs 10. The' outer corner posts 11 of the crib are hollow, and fitted to slide within these hollow Vcorner posts are the hollow feet 12, said feet each having a spring 13 secured thereto, said spring having an enlarged head 14 adapted to spring outward and support the ho low post section 11, as shown in Fig. 4. The head 14 may be pressed into the recess 15 when it is desired to push the foot section 12 The inner corner posts 16 of the crib are each provided with a sliding'bolt 17, the end of which engages an opening 18 in the frame 5. To support the inner side of the crib I may utilize a foot 19 having a caster roller 20 secured thereto, as shown in Fig. 5. The end rails 21 are hinged at 22 to the corner osts 11 and are adapted to be swung inwardy against the side rail 8, and said side rail 8 is adapted toV lie flat upon the spring bottom whenever it is desired to push the crib under the bedstead when not in use. p i

My invention is of simple construction, can bemanufactured at slight cost, is strong and durable and presents a good appearance. I claim A The hereinv described crib designedfor attachment to the side rail of a bedstead, said crib comprising a bottom, means for connecting said bottom to the side rail of a bedstead, a railing hin ed to the outer side of said bottom, rend rai ings hinged to said side railing, whereby said railings may be folded upon the bottom to occupy but little space, said crib `having legs upon the inner side provided with casters and u on the outer side, said CHARLES D.
